This is a very lovely and well maintained campground. The host family was very welcoming and readily available for any questions. Having the creek right next to our site was very peaceful. The only thing that I struggled with was that the train horn was much louder than I thought it would be. Although the train only went past a couple times during the two night stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Creekside Campground. The setting is beautiful, peaceful, and incredibly family friendly. Our 16 month old absolutely loved exploring the nature paths. The gentle, shallow creek was perfect for little one to throw rocks into and have a laugh. It was also a huge plus that they had nice, convenient showers available, which made camping with a toddler so much easier. The campground is clean, well maintained, and has a lovely, quiet atmosphere; aside from the occasional train that comes through but the little one loved waiving to the passengers. Jeff and his family were incredibly kind and welcomed us with freshly baked cookies and even guided us to our spot. We cannot wait to come back!

What a wonderful getaway from the bustling inner city and chaos. The hosts were very wonderful with helping us understand the lay of the land and what to look for around the area (a.i) the alaskan passenger train being 20 feet away!! They also gave us awesome information on local fishing spots and what you can catch/ keep! I'll definitely recommend this for first time campers or veteran explorers! Thank you so much!

The actual camping spot was nice gravel with electric hook up and water. It is RIGHT next to the train tracks and they blow the horn very loudly. It is also next to an airstrip and there were a lot of small planes taking off which was also pretty loud. The bathroom and shower is in the same place so if the campground is full there is constantly someone coming to knock on the door. I think an improvement would be to separate where the cassette toilet is from the shower and to add a sink or some way to wash hands after the toilet as there was no soap or sanitizer.

It was absolutely gorgeous and quiet. Had beautiful views of the train and got some amazing pictures. We booked and came late at night. They even came out to greet us. We did the extended options and it was perfect for a calm morning with a little walk! Thank you so much and we canā€™t wait to stay again!

We had a really great time. We had spot number 4 I believe and put our travel trailer there. It was right uphill from the creek. Caught four little grayling. Jeff and his family were very pleasant. Power, water, fire pit and a nice picnic table. Very clean, nice gravel pad and easy access to Willow.

We stayed here this last weekend for our anniversary/Fatherā€™s Day. We really enjoyed the quiet relaxing weekend. Spot #1 was able to accommodate our 36ft toy hauler. Beautiful are area along side a creek. We were able to see the train go by, which we enjoyed. There was water and electric hookups at a very reasonable price. Our dogs were welcome. The camp hosts are exceptional. Very helpful . We would highly recommend and plan on returning when possible

The directions on Hip Camp to his property have to be changed- they are incomplete. Flat graveled area amidst the birch trees with water and electric. Darling family have fenced in chickens and ducks that they help you to feed and will show you the creek. Cassette toilet and outside shower stall- concrete standing base, housed in small beautifully hand made wooden building. Fee for dump, large rigs would not fit. Local bush plane airstrip near and Alaska Trains run next to property.

The owners are incredibly friendly and genuinely eager to help with any needs. The gentle sound of the creek is nice. The site was level. The water and power hookup worked as advertised. Kids loved the train. It is a bit tighter for "big rigs," but I got in with my 30-foot travel trailer. Take it slow, and don't be afraid to ask for help. I'd use a spotter, at least. I would communicate with the owner beforehand. Depending on the site, you may decide how you enter and exit.

And they're delivered by two of the sweetest munchkins, and mom. Delightful property, and THE BEST hosts. The creek burbled peacefully. Fair warning, there's a roving band of resident chickens that are great conversationalists, but you must speak Cluck. The resident ducks are exhibitionists, bathing down by the creek. A couple of overnight owls sang lullabys. Woke up to a Bald Eagle guarding the perimeter. Great spot for kids, dogs, and grown-ups to relax. We will be back!

Jeff is so amazing! We were getting in late (around 9:30 pm) so I did not expect him to meet us. He was at the entrance ready to show us the best spots for tent camping! New soil had just been put down so the ground was so soft and squishy, in the best ways! Great location for us on our way up to Denali. Did not get the chance to use the showers, but looked amazing and very clean! Thank you for everything, Jeff!!!
